The scorekeeper, Lan Xiang, looked at her expression with a mixture of emotions.
These educated youth from the city are really not cut out for manual labor. They couldn't even gather 25 catties of pig feed all morning. Sigh!
“Jiang Zhiqing, if you can’t gather 25 catties of pig feed by the afternoon, you’ll only get one work point.”
If it weighs less than ten pounds, only half a piece will be counted.
Jiang Wenwan almost laughed.
She had a great time playing with the little ones that morning.
"Don't worry, Comrade Lanxiang, I will definitely work hard this afternoon."
Scoring is difficult, Lanxiang Vocational School sighs.
Compared to the educated youth who came this time, the previous ones were actually considered better.
Before returning to the educated youth settlement, Jiang Wenwan went to the Qiao family's house and spent nine cents to have Uncle Qiao skin the rabbit.
I took the two rabbit skins from before. These two rabbit skins had already been cut and were soft and comfortable to hold in my hand.
Anyway, she's not short of money right now, so she'll keep these two rabbit pelts for now.
"Aunt Qiao, can I borrow your kitchen knife for a moment? I need to kill these three skinned rabbits."
Today, Garlic Sprouts and the others helped me gather pig feed, and I promised to give them rabbit meat in return.
Aunt Qiao nodded upon hearing this.
"Go to the kitchen and do it yourself!"
What kind of work can those kids do for you? I heard you didn't even gather ten catties of pig feed this morning, which is only one work point, right?
"You're losing out by giving away three rabbits!"
Jiang Wenwan was happy; she was just trying to make herself happy.
Life here is wonderful; she lives however she pleases.
It looks like we'll have to keep gathering enough pig feed in the future.
"Aunt Qiao, you already know all this? You're very well-informed. What channels do you have?"
Aunt Qiao grabbed a handful of dried dates, spat out the pits, and said:
"What channel? Everyone in the village knows!"
Jiang Wenwan: Good heavens!
"Are the villagers well-informed?"
"Let me tell you, everyone in our village knows how well someone works."
Guess why?
Jiang Wenwan chopped the three rabbits into six pieces while listening to Aunt Qiao talk.
Why?
Aunt Qiao glanced at her front door and, seeing no one was around, said to Jiang Wenwan:
"Because Lanxiang's mother is the village's loudspeaker, and Lanxiang is the scorekeeper."
He knew who did how much work and how many work points they received.
When he went back and told his mother, everyone in the village knew about it!
Jiang Wenwan nodded, "So that's how it is."
She was chopping a rabbit in the kitchen, while Aunt Qiao stood at the kitchen doorway talking to her.
Just then, she heard an aunt's voice coming from outside her yard.
"Qiao family, I heard that Jiang Zhiqing hunted three rabbits and two pheasants. Is it true or not, she hunted them all?"
How is she so amazing?
Jiang Wenwan didn't know who was speaking yet, and went out carrying the portioned rabbit meat.
Aunt Qiao was a little embarrassed and whispered a reminder to Jiang Wenwan.
"Lanxiang's mother is just like Cao Cao, he can come up with anything you mention."
Jiang Wenwan went out and greeted everyone cheerfully.
"Hello, Aunt Lan, I typed all of these myself."
I was even thinking of going to the mountains to hunt wild boar sometime, but I'll be treating the whole village to meat.
"Haha, Jiang Zhiqing hasn't left yet!"
Oh dear, little girl, don't even think about wild boars, those guys are really fierce.
Sun, the hunter from our village, dares to go up the mountain with a machete, and today he brought back another wild boar.
Haha, the village chief said the meat will be distributed this afternoon, and every household will get some, even the educated youth from your settlement will get some!
This person knows quite a lot.
"Alright, I'll head back now. I have to keep my word and distribute these rabbits among the children."
"Oh my god! You actually took it seriously?"
Jiang Wenwan smiled and walked away with the rabbit.
Watching her leave, Aunt Lan asked Aunt Qiao.
"I heard that Jiang Zhiqing's family introduced her to a soldier. Do you think she'll only stay here for a few days before going back to get married?"
Aunt Qiao was indeed not as well-informed as Aunt Lan.
"I don't know that?"
“Yesterday my husband went to the educated youth settlement to build a kang (a heated brick bed), and he heard it from Jiang, an educated youth, himself. There was also a letter!”
"Don't worry, Auntie, I won't apply to go back and get married so soon."
Aunt Lan was startled when she suddenly heard her speak. Why did she suddenly turn around and attack?
"Hahaha, I'm just curious, if your partner is really in the military, then you can apply for military service!"
"It's better than staying here as an educated youth!"
Jiang Wenwan came back to retrieve the two pheasants; she plans to sell them at the state-run restaurant tomorrow.
As a result, I ended up getting caught up in my own drama.
"My grandparents just introduced me to someone, but I still need to take a look. It won't be that quick."
Besides, I think this place is great; it's beautiful with its mountains and clear waters!
"You're kidding me. Everyone says that this place is a poor and remote area where bad people come from, but we live off the mountains. There's plenty of food on the mountains. It's almost May, and the wild vegetables on the mountains are starting to grow like crazy."
This auntie has a rather interesting way of speaking.
Jiang Wenwan greeted them.
"He's really gone this time!"
First, a quarter of the rabbits were sent to the brigade leader's family, and the brigade leader's wife smiled so broadly her eyes disappeared.
"We feel bad that you keep bringing us meat every day. You should take it home and eat it yourself."
Jiang Wenwan repeated the same statement.
"Auntie, please keep this. It's for the garlic sprouts. They helped me with the work this morning and even told me where there's plenty of pig feed."
This is what I promised to give you, please accept it quickly, I still have several more places to deliver to!
When the brigade leader's wife heard her say that, she happily accepted it.
Jiang Wenwan went to Ge Lao Er's house again. She had asked them to help make furniture before. It was lunchtime, and everyone in the village was cooking at home.
